As a therapist I have benefited from good supervision which has allowed me to grow as a therapist.
I am passionate about the field I have worked in for 2 decades and it is time to give back and help grow the next generation of talented therapists.
My focus on mentoring, guidance, and teaching brings me great joy.
I aim to nurture the professional growth of those in the field, helping them become confident and compassionate practitioners.
I am a seasoned and registered Social Worker, with over 20 years of therapeutic experience. I’m dedicated to facilitating positive change in the lives of my clients and the therapists I supervise. As a client centered therapist, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual, employing a variety of evidence-based frameworks to ensure the most effective and personalized care.
My commitment to excellence extends to my role as a clinical supervisor, where I provide extensive mentoring, guidance, and teaching. My wealth of experience allows me to support and nurture the professional growth of others in the field.
As an immigrant and parent of 4 adult children I am no stranger to some of the complexities of life.
I provide therapy in both English and German.
I’m registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and I meet all the criteria set out by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) to supervise RP (Qualifying) members and Registered Psychotherapist members.
Whether I’m working directly with clients or providing supervision to fellow practitioners, my passion for the well-being of others shines through, making me a trusted and compassionate professional in the field of social work and therapy.
